What was the number one thing fans wanted changed from FO3 ? FIX THE BUGS ! .Did they ... NO ! they added new ones . SO how could they have still sold FONV and made us the fans happy . ? Here 's what I think . I think they should have told us the Bugs where in the base engine code and couldn't be fixed without building a new engine and they would work on that for the FONV 2 But FONV was going to have some bugs . I would have still bought FONV and I think the critics would have been less harsh . I think the worst thing that could happen is the FO franchise dies because of loss of faith in the games creators . All this Patch stuff I hear sounds like a pipe dream . The Bugs in NV where present in FO3 if they haven't fixed them in four years what makes you think then could fix them in another four years ? Just tell the fans the truth and promise to try to make a new FO with a new engine and we will stick with you . Your fan Deathwind

There are a number of active threads about this in the hardware issues forums, you're welcome to repost this there.

I am not sure as to the purpose of your thread.

Patch, final stages, have been announced, and it's release is imminent.

Engine, it has already been announced that Bethesda has a new engine in the works and it will be used for upcoming games.

If this is a general rant, we have many other fine threads already open for that purpose.

So, I will close this one now.
